A dispute at a long-term residential hotel in downtown Portland led to several shots being fired Tuesday afternoon from one room to another, but police said no one was struck.

A dispute at the Fairfield Hotel, 1117 S.W. Stark St., erupted into gunfire after 5:30 p.m. A resident told police that a dispute escalated with the resident of an adjoining unit, and his neighbor fired several gunshots into his room.

Police said the suspect had fled. No one was injured.

Ricky Tieman, a resident at The Fairfield, said his room was the one that was shot at and that he called 911. Tieman, 60, said he heard four initial shots, followed by three more.

Tieman said the shots came from the south side of the room.

"I don't even answer my door anymore," he said referring to safety in the building.

Others in the area said they believe they heard more shots, but police haven't commented on how many shots may have been fired.

Detectives are investigating, and police don't believe the public is in significant danger.

Police ask anyone with information to call their non-emergency line at 503-823-3333.
